Acid rain usually originates with emissions of S02 (sulfur dioxide) which can oxidize into S03 and eventually into H2S04 (sulfuric acid) which can fall as acid rain. Three potential sources of acid rain will be discussed: ...

The International Workshop on Deposition of Solids in Geothermal systems was held in August 1988. Papers were presented on field and laboratory studies of scale deposition from geothermal fluids and in geothermal reservoirs. ...

The report summarizes the results of experiments dealing with the problem of removal of waste-silica from spent fluids at the experimental power generating facility in the Puna District of the island of Hawaii. Geothermal ...

A successful 1962 m geothermal test well was drilled in the east rift zone of Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawaii in early 1976. Cores and cutting chips have been analysed chemically, petrographically, and by X-ray ...

During the regional assessment for potential geothermal areas in Hawaii, several quantitative and qualitative chemical geothermometers were applied to groundwaters with little apparent success. The problems most commonly ...

"The discovery, development, and production of geothermal energy within the lower east rift zone (LERZ) of Kilauea volcano has been the impetus for development of models of shallow groundwater flow within the LERZ. During ...

Natural Area Reserves System, Department of Land and Natural Resources, State of Hawaii(Natural Area Reserves System, Department of Land and Natural Resources, State of Hawaii, 1981-02)

From attached letter: "The enclosed is a CDUA relating to the establishment of 12 Natural Area Reserves. They consist of seven sites on Hawaii and three on Oahu that were previously approved, November 9, 1978, by the Land ...

Furumoto, Augustine S(Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii, 1975)

Staff members of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics carried out an exploration program for geothermal sources on the island of Hawaii by using all relevant geophysical and geochemical methods. Infrared scanning aerial ...

The geochemical monitoring program has undertaken two related responsibilities: 1) Conduct a detailed analysis of the chemistry and dynamics of the shallow groundwater system on the Lower East Rift (LERZ); and 2) Evaluate ...

One of the most serious potential impacts of geothermal energy development in Hawaii is the disruption of native forests. While air pollution and groundwater impacts of geothermal development may be substantially avoided ...

An effort to define and characterize the environmental effects that control the release and mobility of radon in the environment is presented. The results of our preliminary field experiments on the long-term study of our ...

A Major unknown at present is the actual direction of groundwater flow in the Puna district. This presents a difficult problem for monitoring the effect of geothermal discharge on the basal groundwater system. At the present ...

The Hawaii Geothermal Project Well-A, located on the Island of Hawaii, was completed in 1976 to a depth of 1966 meters. The bottomhole temperature, under shut-in conditions, is 360°C and at full discharge is capable of ...

The east rift zone of Kilauea Volcano is comprised of a northeast- to southwest-trending complex of dikes and fractures extending more than 100 kilometers from the summit caldera to the ocean floor. Geologic, petrologic, ...

Kauahikaua, James P(Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, University of Hawaii, [1981])

Resistivity data from several areas were compiled, analyzed, and interpreted in terms of possible geologic models. On the basis of this analysis alone, two areas have been ruled out for possible geothermal exploitation, ...
